Quickly men, grab those Earthsieges before those official download links are pulled due to inevitable GOG release.

HiRez is trying hard to atone for Global Agenda and the abandonment of Ascend.

Maybe I'll reinstall Ascend, if the patch went live for EU servers. AND WHERE THE HELL IS CYBERSTORM, CYBERSTORM 2 AND HUNTER HUNTED?

Aerial Assault is Console-only or they bothered to emulate it?

Plus, typos. "Starseige" -.-

Is this just a "normal" EarthSiege 2 or does it have some fix to work on modern systems?

Looks like just an .iso file with nothing added. The Sierra Help installer already makes things easier though: http://sierrahelp.com/Patches-Updates/NewSierraInstallers.html#ESXP

Nice. Do the Tribes games other than Vengeance have any single player/bots?

Tribes 2 had the "training/tutorial" campaign, and the console one had a SP campaign if I remember right. Not much, not worth it.

But I guess the optimal thing to do would be to organize a MP match with Codexers, Tribes 2 is still an excellent game, despite some rough edges. Maybe an idea for a MP thread on the subforum...

Cool stuff, thx for pointing this out.

Tribes 2 was that game I've always wanted to play but never got around to.

Nice to see the Earthseige games again. I wanted to play those games years ago but I was late to the party when I was a teenager and my pc couldn't run those older titles. Strange that they havne't released the Metaltech titles - Battledrome and Starseige. I remember playing the Starsiege:Tribes demo compulsively against bots and in mp with my 56k modem.

Starsiege is bundled with Starsiege: Tribes.

Starsiege is bundled with Starsiege: Tribes.

Thanks, Taka-Haradin

 

[Hobo Elf]

Starsiege: Tribes was the only Online shooter that I ever got into. Is it still active?

Yeah it's a PS2 ISO. Can't run it from Windows natively and you'll need to track down an emulator for it.

 

[Destroid]

Why would you want to play the PS2 version of tribes anyway?

 

[talan]

Morbid curiosity.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Starsiege is bundled with Starsiege: Tribes.

Actually, that was wrong. Can't find Tribes in StarSiegeandStarsiegeTribes.ISO, there is only Starsiege in it.

I had an error while running setup.exe, but disabling antivirus have helped, so give it a chance.
But what about serial number? They provided one for Tribes 2. Am I supposed to find it myself on some russian site?

Edit:

For fuck's sake - got this error on CD 2

[MadMaxHellfire]

just today i was thinking in what state that last tribes game was. i must have felt a great disturbance in the force.
looks like "dead" is the answer.
